Rainbow Technologies, Inc. a leading provider of high-performance security solutions for the Internet and eCommerce, today announced the creation of Rainbow eSecurity, a new division focusing on the commercial security industry which combines all of the desktop, software security, and Internet and network infrastructure security solutions into a single business unit.

Rainbow Technologies now has three core divisions, Rainbow eSecurity for commercial security markets, Rainbow Mykotronx for custom and high-assurance security technologies, and Rainbow Spectria for eBusiness services.

Rainbow eSecurity was created through the consolidation of Rainbow iVEA, which manufactures and markets the Company`s award-winning CryptoSwift eCommerce accelerator product family, and Rainbow`s Digital Rights Management group, which produce Rainbow`s iKey authentication token and the Sentinel family of software security and license management solutions. Rainbow eSecurity will be based in Rainbow`s corporate headquarters in Irvine and will have offices around the world.

"Rainbow eSecurity`s core products are market leaders which allow Rainbow the opportunity to market a complete client/server and software security solution to customers who recognize that security is a strategic investment that protects business-critical information and applications," said Shawn Abbott, president, Rainbow eSecurity. "While Rainbow eSecurity will be operating in a difficult technology business environment, we have outstanding products, technology, intellectual property, market presence, and solid customer relationships. I am excited about the opportunities before us."
